You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth: Summary & Key Insights

We grow up in cultures soaked with stories about money—stories that tell us money is hard to earn, that wanting it is selfish, or that rich people are somehow less virtuous. These narratives shape our decisions long before we’re conscious of them. In my own life, I realized how deeply these scripts had molded my sense of possibility. I would say I wanted prosperity, yet every time an opportunity arose, an old, fearful voice whispered that I wasn’t capable or deserving.

The first step in changing your financial reality is acknowledging those voices. You can’t change what you refuse to see. Think back to how your family talked about money—was it a topic of tension, shame, or pride? Was it tied to identity or morality? These buried beliefs create behavioral patterns: undercharging for your work, hesitating to invest, or avoiding difficult financial conversations.

Once you identify them, you can start dismantling them. When I realized that I equated money with stress—because my parents fought about it—I understood why I’d unconsciously avoided earning more. Awareness cracks open the door; curiosity lets the light in. You begin to replace unhelpful scripts like “money changes people” with empowering ones like “money magnifies who I already am.” And when that foundation shifts, your actions follow naturally.

Money is energy—nothing more, nothing less. It doesn’t judge or discriminate; it flows to where it’s welcomed and appreciated. If you’re constantly thinking of money in terms of lack, worry, or resentment, you repel it. But if you approach it with openness and respect, it responds.

I learned this the hard way. In my broke years, I viewed money as the enemy: something I chased, begged from, or mistrusted. That energy kept me stuck. Then, I started to treat it like a friend—something I could communicate with. I practiced gratitude even for my smallest earnings. Miraculously, that shift seemed to change everything. Opportunities appeared, clients paid on time, and my creativity expanded.

When you see money as an energetic exchange—not a fixed quantity—you begin to grasp your power in that relationship. It’s not just about budgets and investments; it’s about vibration. You don’t have to become mystical to understand this—you simply start noticing that how you feel determines how you act, and how you act determines what returns to you. The laws of attraction work best when paired with faith and intention.
